      Yeah, I can't disagree with his points either. Although for me, he didn't mention the worst one, where you start a mission and it's just a bloody cutscene.
      I've enjoyed it so far but I'm at the crater, shortly after the 'reveal'. Before that, I thought the story might be wrapping up soon but it seems there's a way to go and it also seems predictable. The missions are still the same stuff I've been doing all along and I think I might be done. I've kinda lost interest in continuing, so if you've finished it, is it worth continuing for more than just the story? I ask because I can get the rest of the story on YT, it's the gameplay I'm asking about. Cheers.

    Finally. Now to see if your opinion stays the same from the first reaction.
    Update: About what I expected from his review. I have been playing PC and started observing games that don't allow me to bind keys to allow me to use tools more easily. Forcing me to use a radial wheel when I have a mouse with over a dozen keys and a keyboard is really starting to grate on me.

      I hate to break it to you, but the game is developed on PC and then converted into a console game. They had to add the radial in after they created everything else. So that's not an argument to be made for why they can't put in any effort to allow me to use my buttons when they literally had to go the extra mile to make the radial for controllers....

      Some games are made to be immersive, and some aren't. The stuff he didn't like about Days Gone didn't bother me and I'm all for immersion. I liked KCD a lot for that reason. I just wasn't annoyed with the bad parts of Days Gone because it's just a game. All games feel like games to me nowadays. I'm starting to grow out of them. I just can't enjoy games and pretend I'm there anymore like I used to, and it's not the games fault -- it's me. I've gone back to some games I found really immersive back in the days and I feel the same about them, gaming isn't as immersive anymore.
      Dividing players in to two different categories like Mack did is just stupid. I don't go in with expectations anymore because games just aren't as important to me as they used to be. I just play them as they are and don't care. I don't complain about features or lack of a certain feature, I just enjoy it for what it is, temporary entertainment.

It was such a surprise to me going back to hard II that I could actually fast travel since I couldn't in survival II, the stealth is way harder in survival and the headshot problem he had where he clearly misses also wasn't in survival II. If anyone reads this play the game through survival mode, you'll thank me later.

Immersive things most people might miss but if you look closely you wont.

Instead, it feels like today's developers are so damn lazy and give so little of a fuck about their work that not only does it not feel like we've truly surpassed the OGs like the Splinter Cell series and MGS, but rather today's implementations are WORSE than those ancient games because no one actually cares.

    3. The game spawns random snipers who WILL shoot you off your bike like:
    "Too bad you were going somewhere. It's time to fight this guy, I decided!".
    4. Running over zombies on the road with your bike doesn't feel good at all, slows you down, and damages the bike.

    This game was a 9/10 for me. The gunplay was rough but I thought that was more immersive because your guy is a biker.. not a military navy seal who's trained to shoot guns for years. As you got more upgrades and better guns you could face entire hordes with guns alone. The story was absolutely amazing. I HAD to find out what happened to Deacon's wife and Boozer, Nikki, etc all your friends were awesome. When i pull up to a mission and it changes from day to night it doesn't kill immersion for me in the slightest because this is a heavily story based game so developers need to make decisions that like. Brian Cox (physicist) was doing an interview with Joe Rogan. He said they actually tried to make a realistic space movie with no explosions or sound in space but it ended up being shit. Concessions need to be made to tell the kind of story you want. This game wasn't a Valheim sandbox survival game. It was an open world action zombie game. It wasn't trying to be an rpg. Yeah some stuff like the stealth was absolute piss but the game gave me 9/10 of what I wanted it to be. A great zombie open world with amazing hordes and story.. I'm glad it ran well on PC. I bought Horizon on pc after playing it on ps4 and i might do the same with this one. Good review.

    I get the immersion breaking gripes you have with this game. Personally some of those things listed don't bother me all that much but some do the npc's and helicopter vanishing. Is it a deal breaker? No but it would be better if it was handled like Skyrim does it for example. As for the stealth aspect it's sad, it was similar in Horizon Zero Dawn which is not really surprising these days. You don't really get a stealth game anymore you get games with stealth mechanics so it's implemented in such a way as to not require much strategy.
    The time passing because the story takes place at night doesn't bother me in this game and it didn't bother me in GTA. The alternative to that would to require the player to arrive at the quest location at night time, in which case you'd have to use a rest or sleep mechanic and I don't really see a big difference between the two personally.
    Overall the game is pretty good and I've been enjoying playing through it and plan to play through it a second time. Thanks to Sony for giving us the choice to play it in our hardware of choice.

    A fair review. I really liked Days Gone. It gets a lot of things right when it comes to an open world zombie game. I'd give it an 8. Flawed but fun. I played with a controller and on the hardest difficulty. I'd really recommend everyone play it that way and not to take any "perks" that raise the amount of damage you can take. The game is just better that way because the world continues to feel dangerous. Too many games these days give too many perks making the game too easy. Easy ruins immersion.

    I got a dog's abuse for criticising this game when it came out on the PS4. The fan boys came out in force to defend the second coming of the messiah. I paid £20 for it and thought that it was about the right price. It's a great idea that's poorly executed. It's certainly not a AAA game. It's perfectly playable but let down by the shocking AI and clunky controls. Enemies can't see you in a bush from inches away yet you let a bomb off inside a horde cave and they run straight to you. WTF? I hated Horizon Zero Gameplay and criticised that but with an army of fan boys defending garage games and morons preordering unfinished work where is the motivation to make a masterpiece?

    All the things he said are true but for whatever reason they didn't really affect my enjoyment of the game. I never felt like the immersion was broken to be honest. The most annoying thing that happened for me was sometimes when you press "E" to interact with something, it can be very picky about where you stand. The wheel was a bit clunky because sometimes it will just not let you pick the item you want to pick and you don't realize you have the wrong thing until after you tried to use it. I am looking at you throwing grenades. Nothing worse than trying to grab a molotov cocktail and getting the hand grenade or pipe bomb instead. And not noticing until after you have thrown it. But as far as how they let you pick the items from the wheel, the reviewer failed to mention that when you use the wheel, the game goes into super slo mo mode so you have plenty of time to pick what you want even in battle. I don't know, i guess I can adjust to the little quirks of a game better than the reviewer can. I.E, they don't bother me nearly as much as him.

      Aren't there programs on pc for rebinding keys? I know it should be able from within the app, and Window allows HotKeys but I don't know if that gets overridden by the app.
      I played this game on console and even I had to rebind some actions like running to other buttons because it was a bit finicky registering the input.
      I had the same with the weapon wheel on the controller where you try to select something and get another thing. After a few times you learn to recheck constantly what you selected. But it can get sometimes annoying af when what you need isn't there in the heat of the moment.

    • @zensoredparagonbytes3985
      @zensoredparagonbytes3985 3 года назад +1

      I had it in FC5 that sometimes the attackers you just had killed, when you turned your back on them and then returned to loot them, they just had disappeared and their vehicles. When I got to the kidnapping part, no matter how much you strategized or unloaded your entire arsenal, they would always overpower you. As if the game arbitrarily said, nope, your weapons are worthless now because I say so.
      Uninstalled immediately after that and traded the copy in for FC3 Classic Edition. Which looks nice on console because it's the pc port, but the strafe movement is locked in at a slow speed. Can't even change it in the settings.
      So dissapointing after coming from playing RDR2 in 1st person, which is graphically more impressive but rather snappy, even on console.

    Punted this after a few days when it originally came out on the PS4. Picked it up again at the insistence of the voices inside my head when I got a PS4 Pro during lockdown last year. Ended up loving it and am playing through it again just now on PC at 4k 60fps. On a controller though as I've only got one mouse. Some decent mods that make it more fun and practical too (shotgun mod, a reshade, fast bonnet, massive hordes, debug menu for messing around in-game, and more). Love the sound of the guns in this game especially if you're wearing good headphones or have a sub and good speakers. Some nice sound design for the world they've created/simulated (Oregon) as well. Sometimes turn off the music, get off the bike and just wander around to hear the sounds of nature that they've put into the game.
    But fair points about the game's missteps in your review. What did you make of the challenges? Enjoyed a few of them, others pretty frustrating and dull.

    Your points are valid and up to subjective preferences. I am happy that this one and Horizon ZD made it to the PC because I cannot aim for the frakkin life of me with a controller. With mouse and keyboard I can finally enjoy these games. In fact, I prefer this one to HZD. Ghost of Tsusima is a different breed, I love it on PS4, without a doubt my favorite game from last year - all platforms considered. And although I would be happy to have it on PC as well, it still gave and gives me a perfect experience on console, because I am not forced to use the suboptimal controller for aiming and shooting. Hacking and slashing, bludgeoning and raging on a controller is fine with me, but at the moment I need to do precision aiming, I am a slow freaking sloth.
    Days Gone is a great game in my opinion, way better than most zombie-themed titles, with the potential exception of Dying Light.
